The associated topological properties of the spin structures enables several unusual properties, including highly efficient coupling to spin currents and an inherent stability even for metastable configurations [1]}, [2]}. As a result, their technological relevance is widely discussed in the context of low-energy information carriers and data processing [3]}, [4]}. Here, the drive towards device miniaturisation places constraints on the physical dimensions of the material components, which are often suppressed to the nanometer length scale. In materials of reduced dimensions, where the surface plays a major role, it then becomes a question of the impact of the surface on the magnetic properties.
